Tyler Perry in the new Star Trek movie

No he’s not wearing a dress. Yes, Tyler Perry is in the new Star Trek movie. I won’t spoil it for you by giving you the details of his cameo. I know that some black folks who would have just waited on the bootleg may be motivated to see what is supposed to be a really good movie because their favorite cross dressing actor is in it. I say “cross dressing” with all the love I can muster. Come on, you know you love Madea.

On his blog Perry advises: “Don’t blink because you’ll miss me. Seriously, if you have to go to the bathroom forget about it. You’ll really miss me. So hold it … LOL.”

Star Trek always had a diverse cast so I was expecting all kinds of lil cameos and what not. Real cute…good job.

I would love to see Madea in a Star Trek parody movie. Tyler and Seth McFarlane should get together with the Wayans brothers and do one. That would be one heck of a script. That’s for sure. Let Madea be the queen of the Klingons. lol

I saw ST three times at the theaters. The first time, as soon as I realized that Tyler Perry was playing the Admiral, my mind immediately flopped over to him instead being up there as Medea, busting out her old-school reprimands upon Kirk, pointing in his face and threatening him with a swift beat down which she would personally administer.

That scene practically writes itself. Everyone else in the theater was quiet and drawn in – I’m sitting there giggling my ass off thinking how awesome that scene could’ve been. Each time I saw ST, I’d fantasize about that part being re-written, and start laughing all over again.

Someone, somewhere, needs to do that. Seth McFarlane could easily parlay that into a Family Guy segue/flashback and get Tyler on board to voice Medea. [crosses fingers]
